Flotilla sailing from Lefkada, where everyone can enjoy
Lefkada is known for the beautiful green coastlines of the Ionian Sea. This is immediately noticeable when you are in a beautiful bay, because the contrast with the turquoise blue water is fantastic! And there are plenty of bays, along with picturesque harbours, everything is easily accessible, so you can quickly alternate if desired, nice and easy. Flotilla sailing in Lefkada is perfect for anyone who can sail reasonably well in the Netherlands and would like to discover Greece. Ideal for scaling up from inland waters to the sea. This way you become familiar with anchoring in Greece and you also learn something during your sailing holiday in Greece. A BBQ on the beach or a Greek evening with food, drinks and dancing? All ingredients are present for a successful flotilla sailing holiday on the Ionian Sea!
Complete freedom during the Meganisi flotilla
Because the weather here is often calm and the distances are fairly short, this flotilla is ideal for families with children. During a sailing day you therefore have enough time to regularly take a swimming or lunch break. You may be taking part in a group holiday, but so you have all the freedom and there are no social obligations. We are happy to advise you on the best place to anchor around Meganisi during your sunny sailing holiday in Greece.

The Ionian Sea has an excellent climate for sailing in the summer. Summers in this area are long, hot and dry. The seawater has a pleasant temperature early in the year.

The English Flotilla Guidance
Of course, a successful sailing holiday depends on the weather, the sun, the sea and the flotilla guidance. In addition to conviviality, safety is of course very important during the sailing holiday. During the Meganisi flotilla, professional English-speaking guidance is available on the mother ship who are always ready for mooring and anchoring. They also plot the route (with input from the participants) and keep an eye on the weather for everyone. There is no fixed flotilla guide in the weeks offered, so that can differ. However, they are all eager to give you a great experience in Greece.

Frequently asked questions
Where does Meganisi's flotilla leave?
Meganisi's flotilla departs from Lefkada city. Here you have the public port and Lefkas Main Port where most of Tubber's partners are located.
Which airport should I fly to if I want to sail in this flotilla?
Lefkada is easily accessible from Preveza airport. From here it is about a 30-minute taxi ride. Tubber can help you arrange this.
When does Meganisi's flotilla sail?
The Meganisi flotilla departs from the beginning of June and sails every other week. The last time the flotilla leaves is mid-September.
Do I need a sailing license to participate in a flotilla?
No, you do not necessarily need a license to sail in a flotilla. For example, you can also hire a skipper to do the sailing. In Greece it is not mandatory to have a license I or II if you want to sail yourself. But some landlords may ask for it. In most cases, a certificate (CV) with sailing experience is sufficient.
Is Meganisi's flotilla suitable for children?
We at Tubber often refer to Lefkada and the surrounding area as the beginner's area for sea sailors. The sailing conditions are very favourable and the area is perfect for a bit of sailing, grabbing a bay and sailing again. This is ideal for sailing with (young) children! There is also much to do and many young adults can indulge in the many entertainment options.
What are the average daily distances of the flotilla from Meganisi?
The average daily distances during the Meganisi flotilla are between 13 miles. Outside the high season (when fewer children are traveling), longer day distances are often planned. All subject to weather conditions and the wishes of the group.
Which bays, islands and harbours will the Meganisi flotilla visit?
The area offers many options. There is a multitude of bays and picturesque harbours. We often try to put on little Vathy, Vasiliki and Kalamos.
Do I sail independently in a flotilla or always with the group?
In the flotilla you sail under the pleasure and convenience of an experienced mothership, you are not expected to constantly sail in a group. Feel free to take a dip in a self-discovered bay.
